Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant pull YouTube video, Shorts, channel, playlist and search data as JSON, including views, likes, dates and durations.

What it does
This remote MCP server exposes YouTube scraping through Apify, returning structured JSON for videos, Shorts, channels, playlists and search results. The data described includes view counts, likes, upload dates and durations. It is a hosted endpoint, so the assistant connects to it directly rather than running anything locally.
When to use it
Use it when you need YouTube metadata for research, content tracking or reporting and want the assistant to fetch it without building your own scraper. It suits one-off lookups of videos, channels, playlists or search results.
Requirements
A remote MCP client that can reach the hosted endpoint at mcp.apify.com. No packages, environment variables or headers are declared in the manifest, but an Apify account or token may be needed to use the underlying service.
Before you install
The server scrapes public YouTube data through a third party, so queries and results pass through Apify. Scraping may conflict with YouTube's terms of service, and returned data can be incomplete or change without notice. No credentials are declared, but confirm what authentication the hosted endpoint expects before connecting.
